New board of the Bernhard-Overberg-Schule support association
At the recent meeting of the Bernhard Overberg School's support association, Bettina Kraushaar, who has been chairwoman for many years, stepped down. She had chaired the association, which was founded in 1997, since 2009. The Friends of the Bernhard Overberg School support school life in many ways. On the one hand, it helps low-income families to pay for excursions and materials, it provides financial and personnel support for school projects that benefit the entire student body and it supports the school's open all-day school. At the meeting, the association's board also gave a brief review of the past school year. In addition to small surprises for all pupils, such as the delicious ice cream or the "Stutenkerl" for St. Nicholas, the association was once again able to financially support the project of the theater pedagogical workshop for the prevention of sexual abuse. The sponsoring association is always an important pillar of the circus project, which takes place every four years. Many large items of play equipment and break-time toys were also purchased with the help of the sponsors' association. In these remarks, it once again became clear that the association lives from its members and has become an important part of school life. Following the election of the new board, the association was able to welcome Ms. Rita Meyer as first chairperson and Mr. Tobias Bürger as second chairperson. Anyone interested in joining the association can contact the principal Maria Schmeing at any time.
